[Plugin] Zorro

Whaat · 26 Feb 2008, 23:47

I made this plugin for use with my Subdivide and Smooth script. However, it is useful in other applications as well. Plus, it's about as much fun to use as the first time you ever started push/pulling Just try hacking Bryce to pieces and tell me you didn't crack a smile...

Zorro will be added to the 'Tools' menu. Happy slashing!

I should mention that I have gotten bug splats from using this plugin. So use at your own risk!

Whaat a beauty!!

You Rock dude!!

I can certainly use this script in my everyday workflow.

Thank you very much, it's gems like these that convince me that regardless what Google does in the future SU will continue to grow with the help of talented coders like you.

and that has to be the best name ever! Thaanks!

Imagine what can be achieved with this script and joint pushpull together .

How difficult would it be to get the freehand tool to also work with this script?

Should be handy for SketchyFFD as well

I am not sure if it can be done. Maybe someone else could look into into it. I don't plan on putting any more work into this script. Anyone is welcome to take it and improve it.

Make sure you make a button for this script...

pilou · 27 Feb 2008, 01:29

Damned! That works!
Whaat you see is whaat you get

kwistenbiebel · 27 Feb 2008, 01:45

Really cool whaat !
By the looks of it, you are making a whole 'organic modeling' module
And knowing you, things will really be designed from the users viewpoint.

Loving every bit of the things you are producing lately.
Keep up the great work

Whaat,you are genius!!!

Jon · 27 Feb 2008, 03:49

Thank you soo much!

I was thinking the other day "hmm, with whaat's subdividing tool, to turn a cube into a smoothed cube rather than a sphere, it will require some extra geometry. That's going to be a bit of a hassle". Not anymore though!
you ROCK!!

Pixero · 27 Feb 2008, 06:50

Great, thanks!
A question *(I havent tried it yet):*How "far" does the cutting go?
Meaning, in the video you dont have a object selected, so If there were two or more overlapping geometry with some distance in between, how far would it cut?

Edit: After a quick test it seem to cut "all the way" so my next question is: Whould it be possible to limit it to only cut on faces visible in the viewport or facing the camera?
I can think of many cases when I would want it to work like that.

Fine "emotional" script... Thanks!
Some wishes and remarks:
1.The script works only in "PERSPECTIVE"
2.The binding of the cursor (knife) to axis (Planes)is necessary

pilou · 27 Feb 2008, 09:52

binding Red, Blue, Green works when you are in view Top, Front...

Funny script indeed
Whaat you see is whaat you get

rv1974 · 27 Feb 2008, 13:15

It shines Whaat!
But a few things MUST be repaired\added:

Work in ortho projection, axis following (mentioned above)
Problems with snapping.

remus · 27 Feb 2008, 13:20

Another big thanks from me, and if it hasnt been said enough i cant wait for subdivide+smooth.

kwistenbiebel · 27 Feb 2008, 13:24

I tried Zorro on a higher poly model (the naked man I posted earlier) but Sketchup crashes .
It's not the ruby's fault (great coding whaat !) ...it's just sketchup I guess

That's what happens when you cut and paste from the example scripts! Try deleting '$exStrings.GetString' from the two offending lines of code (line 74 and 163)

Let me know if that does the trick.

I don't know zip about coding....but I like this line for some reason .
